Bare-throated Tiger-herons - Cardenas, Nicaragua

Love on the banks of Rio Sabalos. These two very amorous herons were in display mode while another watched on from the other side of the bank very close to the town of Cardenas, Nicaragua. The two pointed in the same direction with their bare throats in obvious display mode. I always wondered if they were actually bare and now that question is answered. The displays moved on to arched necks while birds pointed in different directions almost making a full heart. I wish them luck in their future together.
